I still think its just a look a likeXD We've had a couple of those before, I'll die of shock if its really the same guy HA.

I'm with some one else on here, hoping Ash beats all these rivals than maybe a powerful guy comes in and beats Ash, like that idea? Fans would get ticked again he didn't win the league but hey at least this way he'd get to beat all his rivals.

A close family member of mine died today, I put this in my sign as respect for him

Talking about an overused Eeveelution? Look at Espeon, now that one is overused.

Espeon is overused? Umbreon is more overused and it is, along with Glaceon, the most overused Eeveelution in this saga. We all remember Gary's Umbreon, and his mention in BW004, and now it seems to get more spotlight with its background story and another appearance during the league. Glaceon was used by May, Cynthis and now Virgil.

Leafeon is the one that didn't get much spotlight.

Wow, kudos to the writers they surprised me here lol. I like Luxray so it would be cool seeing him again .

That jeffrey or whatever guy had heatran too?? well,it might be just a mistake to show him up on contestant board. And in case of virgil,he may have other pokemons than eevee evos...I am expecting kotetsu,stephan and virgil to show their other pokemons soon...

Well he was given every eeveelution straight away which is instant glorification and some didn't find that fair. But he does have a chance of winning the league, honestly.

You should learn what glorification is.. Because this is clearly just marketing.. :S

Again, nobody is really feeling as if this guy having all Eeveelutions is unfair, in anyway.. nobody is even hating on Virgil, but gents are feeling annoyed by how people are calling him the most likely to beat Ash without having any grounds to do so.. yet claiming it as fact more then opinions.. -.-

Eeveelutions have been shown to be common within families:
- The battling Eevee brothers
- The dancing Eevee sisters..

It's common for the writers to give all Eeveelutions to a group or singular person so they can market the entire bunch at the same time.

The eeveelutions are very popular pokemon in the fandom and giving every single one of them to some new guy is a little unfair.

Judge opinions on what you see, Kotetsu beat Marlon's best without even getting hit.

Again, giving the all to one guy is smart marketing.

I think it's similar to them reusing old designs (for example how that hoenn league competitor 'Jump'(a preliminary character)'s design got reused during a battle club fight or something..

Is the Ash vs. Trip match going to continue into the next episode, or will it end as soon as it begins? Also, what other matches have been confirmed so far?

Probably just design reuse.. And technically not former league contestant as he was absent in the 64 contestants spreadsheet, meaning that fake TR-badge probably got denied and therefore couldn't enter - AKA the writers biggest shorthand troll ever.

Nah, Jeffrey didn't have Heatran, but it would be hax if Heatran appeared here :P

And lol, Virgil having other pokemon then the Eevee's? Small, small chance. And there probably is a reason why most of the contestants barely have three pokemon..

Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-

The one time Trip's Serperior should be able to beat Pikachu without it seeming forced and they have to make it lose huh. I just hope Serperior gives Ash and Pikachu an amazing fight before it loses. Isn't this the toughest first round match Ash has ever fought?

We actually got new footage. Hoping that less pre-league time means the single battle is longer than most. The last scene with a beaten Pikachu looks like the last scene before it goes into that usual sketch "to be continued" photo that ends most episodes with a cliffhanger.
